Clerk of the Peace entered in the shortest way the names, descriptions
and offences of the persons, whom he was instructed at S. P. and

which has consumed the stitching of the leaves together with much of
the leaves themselves, that one cannot now speak of it as a book without
being guilty of misrepresentation. More than two-thirds of the leaves
are separate pieces of paper, and are so rotten that the most skilful bookbinder could not bring them together again into the form and show of
a sound volume.
